I chuckled. "Nothing big. Just want to see a new civilization, that's all."
Primus gave me a look that said he didn't believe a single word of that. I ignored him and turned toward his daughter instead.
"So, how did you end up kidnapped?" I asked Lara.
She glanced at her father, then back at me, but stayed quiet. It was Primus who finally sighed and answered.
"It's a personal matter. But I'll tell you. And I'll also help you reach my homeworld… if you help me with something first."
That caught my attention.
"What kind of help? And just letting me step foot on your world isn't enough. What else can you offer me?"
He stared at me for a long moment before speaking.
"In my homeworld, three families rule. I belong to one of them, the Bloodreavers. To be exact, I was one of the candidates to inherit the Bloodreaver throne."
"Oh, so you're royalty," Steve cut in.
